Learn more485 Engineer as Vicar : Navigating while an expert or administrator 2024-04-18 07:00:00 2024-04-18 10:00:00 #f57921In practice we are often called to act for others as technical experts, administrators, employees and representatives of others. In specifications, submittals, designs, expert advice, investigation and in representing the public. These actions bring forward a grave responsibility that can be a heavy burden.
